Donegal has its own distinctive style of traditional Irish music — a fast-paced, driving fiddle tradition rooted in the county's Gaeltacht areas. The Donegal style differs from other regional styles and is recognised internationally by musicologists and musicians alike. The best way to experience it is to simply walk into a pub during a session. Ardara, Glencolmcille, Annagry, and Letterkenny all have pubs with regular trad nights. During summer months and festival season, sessions can run every night of the week. No ticket required — just pull up a stool.
